As I write the word ‘humanise’ I recall Mozzam Beg’s curt retort – “Humanise?” he said, “Are they [the detainees] animals that need humanizing?” – I believe he has a point. I suppose if the exhibition hoped to ‘humanise’ terror suspects, such an aim speaks merely of the degree to and the speed with which our media and its authorizing discourses shamefully blinker our minds."<BR/><BR/>Brilliant post btw, Antagonist.Kierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12236507389155398693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5892105.post-43174898245655574612008-06-24T09:33:00.000+01:002008-06-24T09:33:00.000+01:00Let's not judge David Davis too harshly; surely th...Let's not judge David Davis too harshly; surely this spirited stand over a small aspect of a much wider issue demonstrates great integrity and value for human life!<BR/><BR/>To start with, I bet he's well against the death penalty.....oh. <A HREF="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/3274245.stm" REL="nofollow">Oh dear</A>.<BR/> <BR/>Okay, well I certainly bet he believes in equality of opportunity and would never discriminate against minority groups.....erm.....<A HREF="http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/mp.php?mpid=1608&dmp=826" REL="nofollow">perhaps not, then</A>.<BR/><BR/>All right.....fine....well, it must go without saying that he's against Control Orders; those punitive, totalitarian measures taken against innocent people, the same innocent people that he doesn't want to see locked up for 42 days, of which he said in June 2007 "<A HREF="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6227016.stm" REL="nofollow">This is yet another example of how control orders, while doing much to undermine our rights and freedoms are astonishingly ineffective at protecting our safety</A>".<BR/> <BR/>Except.....surely this can't be right....Mr. Davis <A HREF="http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/division.php?date=2007-02-22&number=53&display=allvotes&dmp=981" REL="nofollow">voted in favour of Control Orders</A> just four months before he said that!<BR/><BR/>I'm devastated!Kierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12236507389155398693noreply@blogger.com
